I'm assuming the centrifugal forces won't let the prop blades move forward much if at all while the engine is producing thrust.

The Iron Thermal. I'd love one, or a Jet. You can get a jet sustainer kit for my LS4, but it costs more than the aircraft is worth 😮😀👍

[ADZJ]

It almost looks impossible that the engine can lower inside enough for the prop blades to fit inside.

[rickboerma]

Ah, that's what was happening behind me all the time.

[jono]

This looks like Homer disappearing back into the bushes.

[AirJoe]

Has it ever gotten stuck out mid flight?

[R.B_B]

Simple and effective. One thing I always curious about is how the non foldable two blades works

[norbert.kiszka]

I had a small fan (home cooler) with rubber blades (it can be safely touched when running at full speed). It was working many decades until I borrowed it and he put it in a bad way without supervision, so engine burned out.

These are typically what they call "sustainer engines". They can get you home, but usually not off the ground. There are exceptions.

Hey Tim,
Are we by any chance looking at your personal glider.
If I remember I thought you said you had an electric motor option ❓

[bertjesklotepino]

nice, but what about wear?
I mean, those blades are rubbing against the doors.
That wont last for ever, will it?

[WONDERSHEEP]

Would you call that an outboard or inboard motor

[anshi_ad]

How much house power engine is this? .. Love from India🇮🇳

[excellenceinanimation]

Anyone ever done a rocket glider and tried to get really high?

[DanFrederiksen]

small turbofan jet would be much cooler. when is someone going to make small effing turbofan engines.

[MqKosmos]

That's a horrible way of folding props o.o

[montanafreeman]

I’ve never seen an engine with jug’s and spark plugs run upside down like that. I’ve seen glider’s with jet engines that hide.

[Martbrant]

Kinda rouwdy design, services wrubbing and scratching against one another
